Psychology majors who wish to do honors research must have both an overall and a psychology concentration GPA of 3.3 at the end of their junior year.PSYC 51a (Statistics, or MATH 36b or ECON 83a) and PSYC 52a (Research Methods) should be completed by the end of their junior year.In carrying out an honors project, a student has a chance to make good use of a great many skills acquired in classrooms, laboratories and libraries.
Therefore, students should start their search for an advisor early.
It is wise to find a potential primary advisor by the end of the sophomore year and identify a topic by the end of the junior year.
Interested students should plan ahead if they anticipate any research costs.
The psychology budget does not support honors research.
Note: PSY 4994V, the prerequisite course to the honors thesis, is designed to walk you through these steps.
Registration for PSY 4902V credits requires completion of the Department of Psychology Honors Thesis Contract, which must be reviewed by a psychology advisor during Drop-in Hours prior to distribution of a permission number.
The major advisor and second reader will complete and sign the Evaluation of Honors Proposal Form and submit it to the Psychology Office by December 15.
Before collecting data from human subjects, honors students must work with their advisor on a human subject protocol that will be reviewed by the IRB BCPHS (Brandeis Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects).
On rare occasions, a primary advisor outside the Psychology Department is approved; however, a psychology professor must be willing to chair the honors committee. A research proposal and a blank Evaluation of Honors Proposal Form must be submitted by November 15 of the senior year to a committee comprised of the two department faculty members whom the student has chosen as readers.
The proposal includes journal-style introduction and methods sections.
